Yep just tried that, no different, just ran it at 1024x768 everything on the lowest setting possible on:

2.7ghz opteron dual core
2x7900GTX in SLI/single card mode
2gb Ram 2-3-2-5 1t 216mhz (432mhz ddr)
x-fi music soundcard
Raptor Drives

after say about 10 mins of playing it gradually decreased in frame rate to about 2 fps and was unplayabley jumpy, someone I was playing against on an 8 month old pc (he had no idea what it was, not even intel or amd) says his was running fine, no problems, very very very very confused lol :confused:

hmmm I hope its not a CPU issue, I mean really a 2.7ghz opteron dual core is still a good cpu, every other game thrown at it, it handles very well. Also its no where near the 'mainstream' pc the programmers should be aiming for to make the game run well (its much higher). I know its a beta but they had better start optimising code, and fast

I agree, I think a 2ghz athlon 64 should be the highest recommended spec they should be aiming for.

I have a 2.5ghz athlon 64 and it ran like a dog withing a few minutes which was ridiculous since there wasn't anything particularly complex going on, in fact the game looked just like the original TA, except with better 3D graphics and some other gameplay gimmicks that most CPU should handle these days.

Mine kept saying it needed updates to the point where i thought it was getting the same one each time.. but it wasnt.. there were just millions of them..

I think I've gottn past the stage of the millions of updates. I still haven't however managed to get to the stage of playing as of yet :(

I've submitted a couple of bugs, I keep getting prompts to debug with Visual Studio and so on. Oh well . . :(
 
anyone else, who is able to PLAY a game hosted on another system, totaly unable to host one on theirs?
whenever I try and host a game I just get a black screen that sits there and does nothing (yes I have tried leaving it for over an hour).

can't alt+tab out either, have to CTRL+ALT+DEL then guess my way around TM without being able to see it to close the app.
 
The game is massively flawed in certain areas of balancing atm. A guy I played last night built the bare minimum to get spiderbots whilst I sat there happily making a base and an army to then see 3 of them walk right over me. 50 tech 3 seige bots, christ knows how many tanks and a lot of base defence did all of jack **** to them. The game lasted 40 mins so and was a 1v1.

The sad thing is to test the theory I had another game after it when I lost, used the same tactic and won easily. Abit pointless imho, tech 4 stuff needs toning down abit imho

its quite hard to build tho. uses lots of resorces so you have to have a good infrastructure to get any number of them.
 
Tried clicking and esc? It takes about 5 hits to get through all the screens to the main one.


We currently have:

- Concorde Rules
- Robert
- Vent
- Kezmo
- AFK_Matrix

One more people! :D
 
I might play, might upgrade my drivers and see what i get..

Ive got 1meg upload if you want me to host? Although i wont be able to confirm if i am playing until 7~ish.

What Antivirus do you have mate?

There is an issue of black screens when trying to join a game, I had it but there is a work around for NOD32, if you have another antivirus program its worth going on the beta forums as there might be a fix there.
